saving attachments--how?

in my old mail program you would see the attachment icon(paper clip) where as
all you had to do was right click it and pick how you'd want to save the
attachments. Why can't I do this in W.L.M.???? The only thing I see you can
do is save Each one individually.! that stinks when you get a LOT of
pictures! Any help or is it a lost way here...thank you.

Re: saving attachments--how?

my daughter sent me 8 Christmas pics. If I right click on it, I can choose
'select all'. then save to.... but when I do that, I only get just the one
picture. I want to save them all ,at one time, to my folder.But in WLM, I
can't find a way to do this...?

Re: saving attachments--how?


That's strange, as it should work.

I was able to save all attachments using that method, after ensuring that all the attachments were highlighted in the dialog box that pops up.

I am now only using the latest version of WLMail (14.0.8050.1202) though, so if it is a bug in an earlier version, I cannot test it.
